Episode 153. Decisive battle (3)
Yuma jumped off Krissa’s back and climbed on top of Mahatrisa.
Three pairs of golden wings spread out like dawn. As the wings began to flap, golden magic covered the air like dust.
[My child,]
said Mahatrisha, taking off into the sky as if swimming. The massive body moved forward, gently cutting through the cold air.
“Yes Lord.”
[I’m glad you still have fear. You have become more honest with your fears.]
“I think I am also fortunate.”
[Please save yourself from this ending world and come back.]
Mahatrisha was sad.
There was not much he could do for such a young child to prepare for the final fight. Giving away all the vitality he had held for tens of thousands of years was too little help for him to feel.
“Thank you.”
During the hour-long flight, Yuma was able to observe the movement of four ogres in the distance.
It was a back view. It was only a few dots that were moving from a great distance, but Yuma couldn’t take his eyes off them until they disappeared from sight.
Their power, felt by the senses of God, was truly overwhelming.
just 1 second.
It took only one second for Yuma to predict how the human war would end after seeing the power of the ogres.
‘I can’t win.’
Despite the fact that there are the world’s best warriors and dragons, including Duran and Randel Malone, and even wizards in a large army of 200,000.
Even against those four ogres, it seemed impossible to guarantee.
Not to mention, if the three ogres Yuma hadn’t seen joined in as well.
However, the realization that he could not win did not cause another anxiety or change in Yuma’s heart.
It was because he had already expected it since Mahatrisa announced the existence of the seven ogres.
Even at the imperial meeting, it was already concluded that subjugation of ogres was virtually impossible.
However, being anxious doesn’t mean you can find a way not to fight, and it’s not something you can turn away from because you’re scared.
Now, earthly beings have no choice but to believe in Yuma and Yuma in them.
‘Even if it’s late… I hope Captain Hugo comes to help with this fight.’
While thinking about him, he reached the barrier of Risol.
Mahatrisa began to slow down, and Yuma narrowed her eyes, feeling the degenerated space of Rizol with a sense of god.
“Please drop me off.”
As Yuma stepped onto the ground, Mahatrisha transformed into a human and placed her hand on his forehead. as if giving a blessing.
[Last night, I saw you showering the soldiers with blessings. Now I’m losing my power, so I can’t bestow real blessings, but I want to at least do it like this.] “Mahatrisha-sama.”
[I know even if you don’t say it. I will do my best to prevent humans from being swept away by your power, so don’t worry and come back.]
“Yes, I’ll see you later. Please take care of yourself.”
Mahatrisha turned away with a sad smile. As she transformed into a dragon again and started flying to join the battle line, Yuma drew Ascalon.
Serang!
Immediately, the flames that bloomed from the unique aura gathered and wrapped around the sword body.
Yuma silently stared at Ascalon for a few seconds, then lightly drew the air.
Like fire spreading through the paper, the space burned, revealing the inside of the barrier. Yuma stood still and watched it, but he could only hold his breath in surprise.
‘what’s this?’
Inside Rizol’s barrier, a completely different landscape spread out from what Yuma expected.
Of course, Yuma thought of the sight of all sorts of magic formations, or of Lisol standing alone in the middle of a vast, white pole.
What Yuma was seeing now was closer to the latter.
Rizol was standing far in front of Yuma, holding a cane, wearing her red robe. He even nodded as if he had been waiting for Yuma.
But…
what surrounded Rizol was not a polar glacier or a field of snow, but a void that bloomed like a toadstool.
A gigantic void on a scale that not even Yuma has seen anywhere since the second coming of Hwa.
Up until now, there was no trace of emptiness that was strange enough to be found in the polar regions, but more than 70% of the inside of the barrier was completely eroded.
“It’s a pretty gloomy landscape, isn’t it?”
Rizol teleported to stand right in front of Yuma and said.
And when I saw him up close, he had no right arm. In the place where the right arm should have been, there was only a black void blooming instead.
There was no blood or bone visible on that strange, darkened arm.
Only the alien darkness left traces of the arm.
Even the torso looked like it had holes pierced by insects.
Rizol was already being eaten by the void.
And nothing could stop it. The two eyes of Risol, who was smiling faintly, were exceptionally shining.
“I didn’t know I would see you like this.
Yuma stared at Risol in the middle of nowhere, stiff as a stone statue.
The image of Rizol, who had helped her for a while after transforming into an old man at Lots Port, and now clearly crossed Yuma’s mind.
“Have you given up on setting up to go to a new world that doesn’t even exist? Lee Sol has become quite a sight to see.”
distance to cut.
However, Yuma did not move Ascalon. Even though he was eaten by the void and reached this point, he intuitively knew that he would not be able to inflict even a single scratch on him unless he entered the world of fortune.
“I must be funny.”
“It’s not funny. It’s just ridiculously annoying. Because thanks to your master, the world is now going back to this shape.”
“Who is my master?”
“Haider. Aren’t you just his dream?”
Ha ha ha ha!
Rizole burst into laughter as she hit the ground with her staff.
“Yuma Drake. I thought the same for a while while experiencing this world over 100,000 times. That I’m just a fake But I finally realized Now I’m real.”
“I didn’t know you had a knack for self-hypnosis as well as magic. It’s time for fakes to disappear.”
“Haha why are you like this? Being so sarcastic doesn’t suit our conversation. How about we talk openly now? You are as unknown as I am. Maybe I am your father.”
“what?”
“Ah, a creator would be more appropriate than a father. do you remember How many times have I evaluated you as an ‘error’.”
Yuma didn’t answer and glared at Rizol.
“You are a human who never existed while I turned the world over 120,000 times. At some point, it suddenly appeared in the world.”
“okay? That’s something I didn’t know.”
“Do you have any memories of your parents?”
“parents?”
“You became a war orphan after your parents died… This is just a memory that was accidentally set up for you. Do you know the faces or names of your parents who were said to have been killed by magic bombardment?”
I didn’t know.
When I thought about it for a while, my memories of my parents were so faint that I couldn’t even recall them.
No, it was right to see that there was none at all. As Rizol said, the fact that her parents were killed by shelling was just an accidental memory.
“Even if I use my sense of god to pull out all the memories of the past, there won’t be any.
You are a singularity that suddenly occurred one day while I was turning back time.”
singularity error.
To Rizol, Yuma was such an existence. He did not have the power of creation, and in the world he watched over 120,000 times, there had never been a person named Yuma.
“Yes, as you said, I don’t have any memories of my parents. It doesn’t seem like a very important issue.”
When Yuma replied with a timid response, Rizol’s pupils widened.
“Isn’t that an important… problem?”
“What does it matter if I suddenly rise from the ground or fall from the sky? It doesn’t matter how you were born, it matters how you live.”
“That’s right. It doesn’t matter how you or I were born. However, you end up endangering the world against my wishes.
Since you appeared, I can’t go back in time.”
said Rizole, tapping the floor with her cane.
“That means that the end of the world, which I prevented by turning back time 120,000 times… is no longer avoidable.”
“Why are you so sure it’s my fault?”
“Until you appeared, the history of this world always went the same, without missing a single detail.”
“Your powers of persuasion are poor. Could it be that your magic has gone bad?”
“If I did, I would have felt less unfair. I’m not talking about blaming you. In fact, I expected you to be the one who could truly put an end to this repeating apocalypse.”
Rizol pointed to her punctured body and the poles engulfed in the void.
“But look, now this world is over. There is no way left for me either.”
“No, it’s not over yet…
“Don’t deny the obvious truth.
You must be saving as much as I am.
No matter what you do, you can’t disobey Hwa.”
“Yes, I feel it. At least my strength is not enough.”
Yuma sighed and said.
That the apocalypse could not be prevented had been intuitively felt since the energy of the void spread throughout the world. Even at this moment, when he came to fight Risol after telling the truth far away and gathering troops.
Then Rizol held out her hand to Yuma.
“Then why don’t you go to a new world with me? From the beginning…
to start all over again.
With no regrets in a world that has come to an end. It was a tough choice for me too.”
Yuma looked down at the outstretched hand and let out a blank laugh.
“It’s Shinsegae Taryeong until the end. You must be pseudo right.”
“This is not a story to be laughed at, Yuma Drake. Why do you think I’m commanding seven ogres?”
“I do not know.”
“Choose. Whether you will go to the new world with your loved ones and enjoy life, or will you wait for the end here. Humans outside the barrier can’t handle those ogres.”
“It sounds like you are using an ogre to intimidate me.”
“Yes. It’s not my favorite way, but I can’t help it either. That’s the only weakness you have, isn’t it? Now that I’ve gained strength comparable to mine…
of course.
Yuma shook his head without even thinking about it.
“Sorry, but there is a more certain way. It is to defeat you, restore the name of Haider, and drive out the Void together with him.”
“You seem to care less about your relatives than I thought. Why do you keep making emotional choices?
After all, there’s no reason for you and me to be at odds. If so, I will take you by force.”
